Activation of NF-κB Is Essential for Hepatocyte Growth Factor-Mediated Proliferation and Tubulogenesis
Open accessAbstract
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor, Met, regulate a number of biological functions in epithelial and nonepithelial cells, such as survival, motility, proliferation, and tubular morphogenesis. The transcription factor NF-kappaB is activated in response to a wide variety of stimuli, including growth factors, and is involved in biological responses in part overlapping with those triggered by HGF. In this work we used the liver-derived MLP29 cell line to study the possible involvement of NF-kappaB in HGF/Met signaling. HGF stimulates NF-kappaB DNA binding and transcriptional activation via the canonical IkappaB phosphorylation-degradation cycle and via the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is not involved in Met-mediated NF-kappaB activation. Blockage of NF-kappaB activation in MLP29 cells by forced expression of the NF-kappaB super-repressor IkappaB(alpha)2A does not interfere with HGF-induced scatter but inhibits proliferation and tubulogenesis. Surprisingly, in the same cells NF-kappaB appears to be dispensable for the antiapoptotic function of HGF.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
